Charles XII had gone to the Ukraine hoping for supplies and reinforcements, especially from the cossacks led by Ivan Mazeppa. But Peter the Great was hot on his trail, and had no intention of letting him off that easy.

Oh, is this the End of the Series?

At the end they say "Join us next week to find out..." so we have at least 1 more.

If you want to see a great drunken debacle, check out the Cadiz expedition, which includes not training the expeditionary forces with weapons because they attacked Devon farmers, a drunken mob besieging their own officers, accidentally shooting their own flagship with a cannon, not even attacking their objective, One of the critical losses of the Swedish supplies was the powder. After the loss of his supplies, Charles's troops were using half of the powder that a normal shot would need, robbing his troops of vital combat potential.

If only the Swedes could have used meatballs for cannonfire!

"Can the Swedes recover?" (looks at map of Europe) doesn't look good.

The art for this whole series has been so creative and unexpectedly funny! I always enjoy your guys' work. :3

Aww, thank you! It will mean a lot to Lil to hear that (and I'll be sure to pass it along). -Soraya

The art has been amazing. The 2 soldiers at dawn was a great shot this week

You really did great work on this series. Not only is the art work great and the history explained very good, but now I can better understand Sabatons' Carolus Rex ;)

I personally liked the portrayal of battles. Positioning of troops, terrain features, even emotions when troops' morale breaks - it's all so damn cute I want more. We need more Imperial Wars era topics if only to get more battles animated like this.

Great work on this series I loved all the details about the battles keep it up and I agree with Pavel we certainly need more absolutism era topics

ExtraCredits

I'm glad the battle animations are really working for you! It's taken us some time to figure out how we want to approach them but I LOVE the approach that Lil has got going.

Glad you're enjoying the series so far! Otto von Bismarck is going to be the next series, but there are surprisingly fewer battles being depicted in the way we've approached that series, so hopefully you 19th century political schemes told in our style as well. ;)

I sense an Ottoman interlude incoming.

Pretty wrongly, to my awareness they didn't participate in this particular war.

They did actually... but you'll have to wait for the next episode to find out

I've always been very risk-averse, so I don't need this lesson for myself, but I will keep this series in mind, for when I run into someone so flushed with success that he/she doesn't use enough caution.
